Native Root is coming to burning man this year, and although we're all burners, we'll be leaving our bman performance hymens on the playa...you descide where...check out our music at www.nativerootmusic.com, or send me an email and i can send you an EPK w more updated versions of our music...
we have horns, keys, and a full band to back it with a singing wordsmith...
and are preparing an especially bmanish set...
lovelovelove and BURN!

anyway, this year we'll be bringing an amazing 100% improv band to the playa. we're creating the roster especially for this year's experience. so, we're looking for venue to play (besides the random performances we'll create.) we'll have "mobile" equipment in our possession, but if you have a stage with a PA and/or mic's and/or amps and/or a drum kit, we'd like to use your entire infrastructure.

want a musical experience you'll never forget? just ask and we'll be yours truely.

I am seeking performance stages and others who would like to help me perform...and bill up together also

I played center camp stage twice last year...and the year before too...and I played Diva Boot Camp and Woonami Village

With your help, I want to play many performances again this year.

At Burning Man, I like to perform on Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday nights...and...I like to perform on Sunday night also. I do not like to perform on Friday nor Saturday nights cuz my muzik is so delicate and slow...i.e. it's not loud party muzik

I am a professional / touring musician.
I just released a new record called 'ocelli' that is doing very well.

I may also sing at the Temple Burn on Sunday night (an a'capella piece as the temple burns)...and...I'd like to perform just after the temple burn on sunday night at Center Camp stage...around 12 midnight.

If you want to hear my new music, I have a website (listed below)...or...My MySpace page is a good place to quickly view and browse my bio and music.

A review by Music Liberation Project: "If there’s one thing this boy’s got, it’s pipes, and the talent to back it. Lance’s composition skills combined with his out-of-the-ordinary singing range resembles that of the late, great –xxx-. The songs on his EP CD were produced and multi-tracked with Lance on vocals, piano, guitars, keyboard, keys of violin and cello. Keep a look-out for Lance Grider and his no-fear stage presence." Music Liberation Project

from the listening audience...

“That voice! Oh my word, that voice!!! I am chilled by the haunting beauty that drips from this music. So delicate, so touching and soaked in such rich depth. Lance mesmerizes something wicked with his dreamy lullabies.” Ian ~ Los Angeles

"Listening to Lance's voice and music for the first time felt like the scraping of layers off my heart. The emotion and passion fires burn so bright when he plays, the coldest soul has no chance but to melt. He is total embodiment of the MUSIC." Sandy ~ Portland

“When Lance sings, I feel like I'm being covered in honey, and set on fire all at the same time. He has an angels voice.” Sarah ~ Portland

“Lance's sound is hauntingly potent, surreal, lulling. It breathes a certain kind of sadness without sorrow. His voice is tender and his musicianship is impressive. He is a sweet treat to the ear - a definite Portland must-see!” Nicole ~ Portland

“His voice is like an angels voice. He takes me to other worlds." Gwen ~ Portland

Our camp, as part of it's ever-changing theme, are inviting any bands, dj's, etc to play at our camp (which will hopefully again gets esplanade placement). This will be available most evenings, & even during the day, if someone so desires. We have a good home stereo system with surround sound, a powered sub-woofer, speakers, 5 disk changer. for DJs, if you can get your tables to our camp, we should have you covered. for Bands- need your equipment & amps- I don't know how much power amplifiers and the like take; we have 2 generators, one decent wattage, one smaller; I someone can give me some estimates on power needs for live bands, I will try to arrange accommodation!

I perform professionally as, "Santini: The Dark Master of Escape". In this capacity I present the most hardcore, extreme, and life/limb risking escape artist shows and stunts on the planet.

This past New Year's Eve I performed a daring escape as part of the nationally broadcast "Canada's New Years Eve Bash" live from Nathan Phillips Square in downtown Toronto.

In front of 35,000 live audience member I was manacled and then locked in a steel vault.

Massive propane flamethrowers were then turned on the vault heating it up to the temperature of a blast furnace.

I had to escape before running out of air of being cooked alive.

Happily, I made it.

Footage of this particular escape, called "The Cremation Chamber" can be viewed on my website at www.thedarkmaster.com

This year I was offically named, "The World's Most Extreme Escape Artist" by the legendary Ripley's Believe it or Not! and a full page interview/feature on my work can be found in the new internationally distributed Ripley's book, "Expect the Unexpected!"

For many years I have been interested in performing a massive and grand media generating escape feat at Burning Man.

I have always felt that this venue is perfect for my extreme skills, particularly because of my joining the elements of fire with many of my performances.

So, I thought I would post here and see if there would be any interest from the principal organizers or perhaps a sponsor in having me come to Burning Man and present a large and thrilling spectacle.

Perhaps an escape from the belly of the Burning Man himself while he burns!

welcome, Santini...Burningman is a gift economy- if you have something to share, you share it....Big Media events are not what the festival is about...there are several discussion threads on this board re: the value/detriment of media to the community...Asking for 'sponsors' is a sticky wicket, since the basic tenet of BM is Self-sufficiency...perhaps if you explore joining a Theme Camp that creates a performance space suitable for your needs...Everyone at the festival is an ARTIST, we all bring our ART to share, that is what makes BM so unique!!! Good Luck!!!

My Glam/Electronic/DanceyRock band is planning a trek to Burning Man this next time around and I thought it best to send that out into the universe now to see what might come back.....please contact if you are interested in hosting or are interested in my sending you some tunes.

We spent most of last year touring the UK with Alabama 3 (who did the Sopranos theme song) and the US with Tony Joe White, as well as performing at SXSW, Cambridge Folk Festival, Lovebox Weekender, Standon Calling, Ullapool Loopallu Festival, Tenby Blues Festival and the Secret Garden Festival.

Hi...This is MARUJAH the band we are a latin Disco-rock-ska-reggae-funk-dub band from nashville! We have many friends that go to burning man each year that have told us such great things about this festival....This years theme about the hope and fear and future...are very true and unavoidable. The economy faces many tasks to overcome to insure a stable environment, a growing multi-cultural community, and economic unity with other country's. Our music is our weapon, taking on these issues and bringing together the Latin community as well as anybody that strives for co-existence. if theres anyone that has any suggestions where we could play our music, or has any contacts to any main stages where we can draw a crowd to play in front of please let us know.
